Spiel Essen: the Board Game

The most "meta" experience you will ever have at a tabletop board game expo, and it isn't even close. You will take on the role of an attendee at a tabletop board game expo, purchasing new games until you run out of arm strength or money, run out to your car, dump the games in the trunk, hit the ATM, then head back in for more games. Your only sustenance will be the bratwurst-and-soda stand in the central corridor. You don't just experience Spiel: Essen. You live it. Be there!
